AMD launches new FireMV 2D workstation graphics line

AMD launched a new card in its FireMV series today. Like its peers, the FireMV 2260 is a half-height, low-profile video card that will be available in PCI, PCIe x1, or PCIe x16 configurations and will carry 256MB of RAM. The card's new feature is its native support for dual Display Port technology.

DisplayPort devices may not be prevalent today, but the FireMV 2260 is obviously meant to drive them if and when they enter widescale deployment. The card also ships with DisplayPort to DVI-I adaptors, and is capable of driving displays up to 1900x1200 if DVI is used or up to 2560x1600 via DP. Like most of the other cards in the FireMV family, the 2260 is designed for passive cooling, low power draw, and is covered by a three-year warranty.
